As revealed at Seatrade Cruise Global 2016, Seabourn Line has not only partnered up with world-renowned chef Thomas Keller, as was previously announced, but also master mixologist Brian Van Flandern to elevate the culinary and drink offerings fleet-wide and aboard the forthcoming Seabourn Encore.

Tihany, what he calls “a portrait of a chef.” The Grill will debut aboard the Seabourn Quest (rendered below) in May 2016 in a 44-guest configuration that replaces the former Restaurant 2 space here as well as on the Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Odyssey during their next dry-dock refurbishments.
